Fox News
James John Hall, 34, is facing federal charges in Florida after authorities say he sold a pipe bomb to an undercover police officer for the price of $800.
The confidential source said they became acquainted with Hall last year, when he sold them marijuana, and Hall showed the source a photo of the bomb that consisted of three to four plastic jars taped together and painted with camouflage.

Hall was communicating with an informant for the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office, who reached out to the sheriff’s office prompting a further coordinated investigation with the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), where an undercover Pasco Sheriff’s detective met with Hall to purchase the pipe bomb along with a Glock 17 pistol Hall had offered for sale.
